CP All’s online retail platform Twenty Four Shopping has arranged with the government to offer six “geographical indication” (GI) products on its website, www.ShopAt24.com.

Twenty Four Shopping and the Department of Intellectual Property signed a memorandum of understanding to that effect on Wednesday (November 27)
Products designated GI are verified to come from a specific locale and have a trusted reputation and high quality.
Deputy Commerce Minister Weerasak Wangsuphakijkosol said consumers would now be able to buy the products any time of day and pick up their purchases at the nearest 7-Eleven.
